Planetbeing has announced the release of 'Signal 2', an update to his iOS app that provides information about your cell connection and nearby towers.

My Cydia app "Signal 2" is out now, working on both GSM and CDMA devices now! Provides info about your cell connection and nearby towers.

About Signal 2:
Signal 2 displays information about the cell tower your iPhone is connected to as well as neighbouring cells. It detects and maps the location of all nearby cell towers so that the user can easily get a good idea of their cellular coverage or where to go to get the best cellphone reception. Combined with the free iPhone carrier unlock that planetbeing has helped create, a user can swap SIMs and determine which carrier is best for him or her based on cellular coverage. In addition the map, other useful technical data is displayed including RSCP (signal strength) in dBm and Ec/N0 (signal quality) to all neighbours, the PSC of the cells, as well as the frequency each cell is broadcasting in.

You can get Signal 2 ($3.99) from the Cydia Store for jailbroken iOS devices with cellular radios running iOS 5 and above.

Maybs this is a dumb question but what is the grey circle with the grey numbers located around my location? I've had both and never could figure it out.

A tad expensive for what it is. Especially that most of this info is available on field test mode *3001#12345#*

Doesn't work in Australia. Fuckin' crap.

I am in Australia (Brisbane) and it works. I bought it like some others did, more as a donation to the jailbreak folks who in turn donated their talents & sleepless nights as a kindness to strangers. I am all for open systems (as a member of FSF and EFF and several others) and I like the iPhone. They make the two viewpoints compatible. Thank you for it.

Does not work in Tokyo. Just blue pulsing dot and no cell tower displays,

All it tells you is what towers you're connected to. Yes it is pretty useless. But think of it as a support to the guy. He must have spent many sleepless nights to bring us the jailbreak. What does he get in return? I'd still buy it to support Planetbeing, even if it lies on my springboard untouched.

Not gonna buy this again. I already paid the previous version so this should be free because this is just an update.

Jim - March 1, 2013 at 9:43am

Mate, if you have already bought it the upgrade is free, at least mine was 5 minutes ago.

Jim - March 1, 2013 at 11:37am

oops, my bad upgrade was for a lower version

DarkKent - March 1, 2013 at 3:39pm

Thats exactly how i felt. paid for this shiit just as support and gotta buy again for ios6 smmfh just like mywi and other apps... now they wanna rip us off from upgrades....

Sam - February 28, 2013 at 9:40pm

I bought this app when it first came out to support planetbeing for his hardwork as JB'r/Unlocker. But I must this app is pretty damn useless.

Jared - February 28, 2013 at 8:27pm

$3.99 for this? No thanks.
